Abstract
To verify GNOMER's new kinetic capabilities, two numerical tests are considered; namely, the point kinetic test case and a rod insertion simulation on a model of a typical pressurised water reactor (PWR). The reference solutions were produced by a point kinetic script and the SKETCH-N diffusion code, respectively. Very good agreement is found for all cases considered. Unusual behaviour and discrepancies - where observed - are explained satisfactorily. With the evidence provided in the paper, GNOMER is deemed to be a reliable tool for (both static and) dynamic simulation.
